purplemonster Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The top ranked D's I am seeing are the 1. Rams 2. Steelers 3. Ravens 4. Washington 5. TB 6. 49ers anybody have any thoughts on who they like or don't like? Not the most crucial aspect of FF, but I have trouble judging this year to year https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/rankings/dst-cheatsheets.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Niners with Bosa back healthy should be real good. They don't have a ton of defensive backfield studs but their front seven is nasty and will cause some turnovers/sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I think the Patriots could be a top 3 defense with some of the returning players they're getting back. The Chiefs, Dolphins and Colts could all be top 10 D/STs units. Edited July 27, 2021 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I feel like the Broncos will be up there as well. I do like the Dolphins to bounce back to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Browns will be much better than last year on defense. Maybe not a stellar fantasy defense. I also have a feeling the Steelers won't be as good as expected in many ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docniner Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think you could pretty much flip-flop these 6 to any spot one thru six. I like my 49ers this year to bounce back after their injuries last year. I definitely think they'll.finish top 5. Backfield's not great but the front 7 will dominate and make them look better than they are. Bosa, Fred Warner and Arik Armstead will wreak havoc. CLEVELAND is gonna be much improved.and wi.defimtely be a top 10 defense this year. I like DENVER sliding into the top 10 and MIAMI will continue to improve. My darkhorse to finish top 10 is the Cincinnati Bengals. Burrow's back and they added Chase to theWR corps. They'll be ahead in a fair amount of games and the defense will be inspired to step up. That could be a tough division this year as anyone one of them could win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them being in the bottom 3rd of the league and probably in the bottom 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 I was surprised the 49ers aren't ranked higher, their DL was a wrecking ball when healthy, and they should be now. I don't know anything about the Dolphins or who the Pats have offhand, but the Pats usually have a pretty good D so they are always a decent choice. I like Washington too with Chase Young, who is a bit of a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketPool Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Tampa Bay, Number 1 Without a Doubt Tampa Bay has a good defense who more times than not will be on the field with a lead which will cause other teams playing from behind to try and force things or extend plays which lead to turnovers, sacks,, etc.. The NFC South division has gotten worse. The Panthers with Sam Darnold at QB, Saints with Crab Legs and Hill at QB, Matt Ryan without Julio Jones, that's 6 games against teams who have regressed imo. The Bucs then play the AFC east this year who aside from Josh Allen don't have a legit QB, that's 3 more games against questionable teams/QBs. Now add QBs from the Giants (turnover machine), Washington, (turnover machine), Bears (Dalton/Fields), Eagles (Hurts), Colts (Wentz), into the mix. 14 Games against teams that have either regressed or have a not so good/OK/unproven QB. TB D is primed for a huge season. Good Luck this year. Edited July 29, 2021 by PocketPool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docniner Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Wel they may not be ahead a lot but we know anything can happen in the nfl . Cincy's an up and coming team especially their offense so that.may translate over to the defense as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
